Kilt Hose I've Knit

[fluter]

Marled yarns are ones that are made from two different colored singles plied together.

Here's one of the few I've seen, in Paton's classic merino. They have solids to match: I'm planning eventually to do a pair of diced hose using an Argyll pattern.

I think somewhere on XMTS Matthew has a pic of some diced hose his wife knit for him that utilized marled yarn.

The ones we've seen were two color solids (like my hose tops in progress, above). The marl is simulated with alternating stitches.

I'd be more likely to spin my own if I were going to make Argyle hose, just to keep the colorway consistent.

This sounds labor-intensive: would your asking price be the same as Mrs. Newsome's (marriage)?
